Saw a few movies recently:

Prêt-à-Porter aka Ready To Wear
Robert Altman movie. It's supposed to be satire about the fashion industry. It's actually just an insufferable 2 hour ramble with no coherence ever emerging. The dialogue in this movie is just empty nonsense. Turns out Altman threw the script in the garbage can and decided to have everyone adlib their lines on the spot. GREAT IDEA. Easily the worst ****ing movie I've seen in years. It's like a 2 hour visual headache.

Dr. Strangelove
Still a classic. One of Kubrick's very best. It's funny as hell but also chillingly relevant and more realistic than a black comedy/satire has any right to be.

Life
Sci-fi movie that rips off Alien for the first half, then goes it's own way and gets more and more boring in the second half. A few good ideas, lots of blandness. Dull CGI blob as the monster that kills everyone. I liked parts of the movie, but it managed to generate a lot of ill will in me with the boring and poorly thought out last half hour.

The Last Supper
A black comedy from 1995 that I've never heard of. Starring Bill Paxton, Ron Pearlman, Cameron Diaz and many other less well known actors.

Liberal college students invite guests for dinner and conversation, poisoning those whose political positions they find to be inhuman to death, burying them in their tomato garden afterwards.
So they kill a bunch of right wingers with anti-gay opinions and such. Then things spiral further out of control hilariously and the movie works as a pretty fantastic satire over both right wing and left wing irrationality. I'd say this movie is downright explosive.

Play this to a crowd of randomly selected Americans in 2018 and there's gonna be fist fights in the audience before the movie is even halfway through. Guaranteed!

The movie has so much style and personality. So many great characters and a really clever script. And a pretty fun soundtrack to boot. I enjoyed every second of this one. Just a great movie.

How so? It is abnormal. There are more heterosexuals than homosexuals.

This train of thought is why people are so comfortable saying D!CK and C*NT, but not PENIS nor VAGINA.

No, this was homophobic. He wouldn't have made this point with a girl. Then he doubled down by accusing me of being ****ed by men. Now he's calling it an abnormality. He was just banking on people being disgusted by the idea of tasting dick because homophobia is normal to him.

Get off the rainbow colored cross for 5 minutes. You can joke about things without hating them. It's called a sense of humor.

Yeah, sure, it was a joke. I totally believe it was just a harmless joke. You're totally not homophobic and you've never showed any type of bigotry towards anybody.

If painting me bad makes you feel better about yourself, then have a ball with it :wave:

I didn't paint you anything. You took the buckets and dumped it on yourself. Now you're blaming me for pointing it out.

Gave it a rewatch. Probably my favorite of the MCU, along with Thor: Ragnarok. Super funny, great action, absurd situations, and an awesome chase scene. That's all I ask for.

Huge nostalgia trip. I remember watching this with my sister back in the day. This is basically what got me into Stephen King. Definitely more on the clever and entertaining side than outright scary.

There's more non-conspiracy theorists than conspiracy theorists.
